Letter To The Editor


I have made a sad, but serious decision to give up my volunteering at “Out Of The Attic Thrift Shop”. When I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, it gave me time to do a lot of thinking. I decided it really was time to give up some outside activity, as my Doctors have told me to slow down.


I placed a lot of love and care into making the thrift shop successful and I will miss it, but will visit often to see the 200 plus folks who sent me cards while I was in the hospital and since returning home. Thank you so much.


When the volunteers got together and did an appreciation day for me it was so very thoughtful. They wanted to help me with medical expenses, however I have insurance and most bills should get paid so I’ve donated money to the Pittsfield Food Pantry as I felt this was the way to help the most people this time of year. I hope it won’t hurt anyone’s feelings who donated at my appreciation day thinking it would pay medical bills.


I will  miss all the people who have donated,  shopped, been a volunteer, or organizations I’ve worked with for the last five years that has helped us fund Baby Threads. Please continue to help them as they are a great organization that changes the lives of many unfortunate situations.


For the people who have called or written to encourage me to stay at the shop I hope you can understand my decision.

Chichester Public Library Holds Growing Step By Step

 

On Saturday, September 29th the Chichester Public Library concluded their summer reading program by hosting children and their families for a fun and successful event. The program, entitled Growing Step by Step, was so named for the children’s garden that had been planted and cultivated by library volunteers (as a love for reading must be planted and cultivated in children) and the stepping stones the kids had designed and created during their summer reading program. We were lucky and had a gorgeous, sunny day and lot of kids who wanted to enjoy it.


We began with a costumed storyteller who wove for us a yarn about gardens, and growing, and fairies and elves. The kids then had about an hour to build fairy houses and place them around the library grounds.  It was amazing what children, some as young as four and five, could create with grass, acorns, twigs, egg shells, ferns, feathers, moss,  and other treasures from nature.  They were beautiful.  Some had two stories, some front porches, one even had a swing!  Mind you, these are only about 12-18” high, which takes some serious planning and very delicate placement.  The kids were great!


We conducted a short ceremony to dedicate our new children’s garden by asking the kids who participated in the summer program to place their own stepping stones around the beautiful (donated – thank you Linda, Tammy and Jim!) perennials and then concluded with cupcakes and juice.


In fact, we served 110 cupcakes as a prelude to our anniversary next year – or as we are calling it – our one hundred and elevendyeth birthday (just like Bilbo Baggins!). Each cupcake had been decorated with a date, starting with the year 1899 and ending with 2009.   Please watch for more information on that celebration which will take place in 2010.  And also watch for the Second Annual Fairy House event. We so enjoyed presenting the program and the wonderful and artistic scenes that the children created, we can’t wait to do it again, and again, and again…


For more information on this program, or with questions on any of our programs, please feel free to call the library at 798-5613.
